MoonGyu Daniel Jeong (정문규)

Studying science of public administration at Korea National Police University.

Born on June 12, 1990

___________________________________________

That's all that is left on your facebook page amidst the multitudes of goodbyes and teary messages left by friends you've made from all around the world.

What made you do it...?

I remember how you greeted us when we first arrived in Seoul. Both Julie and you were so worried that we will find you guys lacking, however you guys were the best caretaker/friends anybody could wish for.

Did the world treat you harshly...?

We were such a difficult lot, that I must admit, but eventhough you sighed whenever we pulled a "stunt", you were always there to watch our backs. Heck, you covered our asses more than once whenever we pissed off any of the facilitators. It must be a residual effect from all the police training you had to go through in the Police University. The instinct to take care what's put under your care, Daniel you certainly performed your duty to the utmost standard.

What were your last thoughts, I wonder...?

You seemed like such a nerd with your big glasses and tendency to blink innocently at whatever we say. I remember how Fuzail always got a kick from making you panic as you tend to drop anything you were holding and in one great instance, your eyes almost bugged out of its sockets cause of some statement he made. Blame it all on the clash of languages, things do get lost in translation. But that's the fun part no? =)

Would it have changed anything if you knew we cared...?

Considering your semi-timid nature, can you imagine how suprised we were when you suddenly appeared on stage and danced oh-so-awesomely to some K-Pop music. Complete with breakdancing moves and whatnot, dude you were the shit. We, the Malaysian delegates might be a bit biased in making this statement (as you were our caretaker and all) but to us, you were the best dancer among all. Daniel, you're the man ^_-

Won't you miss all of us now that you're gone? We definitely miss you.

I remember complaining to you how hot Seoul was while sitting on the sidewalk as we waited for the bus that will take us to the airport to arrive. You just laughed and eased my childish whining by offering me a strawberry popsicle. Daniel, good friend, you really know the way into a disgruntled woman's heart =)

I pray that you are happier now, wherever you are.

I never thought the last sight of you waving and yelling goodbye at me at the departure gate would be the last time I set my eyes on you. Literally. Good God Daniel, ....why?

I guess we will never know for sure what made you do it. I just pray that whatever it was that you were trying to escape from was worth it. May you find happiness in the afterlife as how you didn't feel happy here. T

Take care Daniel, you are definitely missed.

Jessup is over. Didn't manage to win any of the awards. This is in all likely be my last moot competition as by next year I would be busy with LLB. That is IF I get into the dratted programme. Do I even want to slave away doing something I'm not even sure I want to pursue, thats another issue I will need to think about.

Its only been a month into 2011 and so far, the year is starting off on a sucky note. Like a song that got ruined due to 1 sumbang beat. If this is the year of the Rabbit, I am seriously considering slaughtering said rabbit.

Needless to say, I icky. I feel mad. I feel stressed. I feel inadequate. I feel like such a loser.

I feel...like such a failure.

Abah, come home. Please.

Of knowing that 'ohana' still ranks no.1 in here thumps chest

2010-08-30T06:35:00.000-07:00

To my fantabulous, huggable, sayang-able family.

I might not be home as much anymore, I try to go out more as you all say I "vegetate" too much at home.

I might not be the same annoying Pawana anymore as everyday I am reminded of the fact that I need to grow out of the 'adik' role and be an adult as Alwi is now here to take that place.

I might not be as dependent as I used to as I know everyone has their own spouse/children to take care of now, can't be running to you guys all the time anymore.

I might not be as talkative as I used to as I know you have your own problems to deal with. But that doesn't mean I trust @ care any less.

I might not seem very close to home at the moment, but not for one second do you guys ever disappear from my mind or from my mind.

I might not say it, but that doesn't mean I don't want to.

I might not show it, but that doesn't mean I don't feel it.

I love you all, its just I don't know how to express it.

Never forget that.

P.S: Happy Birthday Abah. (eventhough you don't know how to turn on the internet to read this anyways)

Of finally realizing my love for all things mooting =)

2010-08-23T10:12:00.000-07:00

There is a very high likelihood that I will regret this statement, but I've gotta say, I do think I'm hooked on mooting.

*insert foot in mouth*

(If by any chance you're reading this Dr.Irwin, NO, you cannot use this to manipulate me into extending just for moots -.-")

Anyhow. I shall now sit down and blog about the momentous mooting experience which I had been priviledged to participate; Maritime Moots Competition held in Sydney, Australia.

To cut the drabble down short, we basically sold our soul to moot research and training for about 6 months, the crucial period would have to be the last 2 months. Until now I have no idea what actually drove us to stay on with all the stuff that has happened. Whatever it was, thank goodness as the experience is certainly worth it =)

One of the training sessions prior to competing

I still remember some of the issues which had arisen during the period before leaving for Sydney. Some of which are like how we (or me at least) had to literally count our food expenses each day as most of our money had to be sourced for printing of cases for the bundles of authorities and other related thingamagics. From this, I will no longer take money for granted. PERIOD @@"

"Makan pasir" for any period of time is no picnic, take it from me

Not to mention I also had a teeny weeny misunderstanding with one of our trainers with regards to training sessions. The reason was simple and trivial but the effect was so magnificient its unbelievable. Until now I honestly believe that this issue is debatable as both sides had valid reason to be pissed but oh well, what's done is done. No use harping about it =\

Training done, leaving for Sydney!

Maritime Moot team + Miss Ummi + Afif and Fara sending us off

This trip to Sydney was an oddity in itself due to several reasons.

1) the fact that our university had allowed us to use Singapore Airlines rather than the usual compulsory MAS. I guess they finally realized how much better it is, cost-wise =\ Plus the sight of watching Khairil jump up and down in excitement when he found out was memorable. It was right then that I realized exactly why his nickname is Toopie =3 Jump squirrel jump! XD

2) There was one period in time where they had even considered sending the team without any lecturer to accompany us due to problems in budget. Pergi Sydney without adult supervision, wowie junior juice! Fortunately (or unfortunately hahaha) our trainer Miss Ummi managed to get clearance at the 11th hour. Phew!

The whole team was nervous as hell, so we spent the time in the flight to Sydney reading our opponent's memorial. Bangga tak bangga *puffs out chest*

Finally! Sampai Sydney~ *hums Nemo tune*

Cubaan Khairil untuk membuat nafas berwap!

In front of University of Technology, Sydney. The place where the moot competititon was going to be held

We arrived in Sydney at the crack of dawn (okay, takdelah crack-of-dawn sangat but it was god awful early nonetheless -.-") and since the moot briefing was only going to start at 3, we literally had 9 hours to burn. Plus the fact that our accommodation only allows us to check-in around 10 did not help. Semua buat aksi tidur bergelimpangan dekat hotel lobby, so cantik hahaha!

Gambar ini rekaan semata-mata. The one on the left cannot cook for shits =p

Ahh Maggi kari dibawa terus dari Malaysia. When hungry everything tastes good ><"

The first of many food trips to the Halal Chinese Restaurant. Teramat sangat sedap *thumbs up*

Putting all messing around aside, the whole team was nervous as hell for the competition. Us being relatively juniors and all. But after 6 months of nonstop drilling I guess we were already at the stage where we couldn't stand it anymore and we were literally counting down the days for it to be over. Yes, it was that harrowing @@" Anyhow, words cannot describe the whole experience so I'll just leave the pictures to tell the story.

During break, before the second match. Doing some last minute discussion and research with Miss Ummi and Dr Irwin (thank god for Skype)

Second Round : University of Southampton vs. UTMara. WIN!! *jumps around in glee*

Respondent team: Toopie, Lazat Bab-bab and Mamak Shy. Kesayangan yang tak terhingga kepada korang berdua. Jom team sama lagi? XD XD XD

Tak makan satu hari cause chuak for competition. Habis je round terus membuka langkah yakin ke kedai cina muslim itu. FOODDD!! Sampai senget2 tudung, makan gelojoh sangat XD

In a nutshell, we did not manage to break into the semis but we did manage to rake in the Best Individual Award. (Until now we have no idea how we won an individual award when the certificate was written for the whole team. Mystery..)

BUT, I've gotta say I wouldnt trade the experience for anything. Sure I might have pissed off a number of people by blowing them off for moots (sorry Abah , rakan-rakan and segala T--T) but the benefits I have gotten in return was well worth it. Plus I've found a group of people whom I can call family other than the real blood relations I have.

Moot peeps, korang memang chenta hati =3

Till next time,

P.S: Shairil loves loves loves you guys. No words can describe it, I really do =)

Of having a rockstar for a nephew.

2010-06-05T09:20:00.000-07:00

I have to admit. The kid's got style.

For those who do not know, I'm referring to my nephew, Alwi. Yes, that drama-king.

I mean, he's barely 10 months old and he has like what, 7 people wrapped around his little finger on a regular basis without even breaking a sweat. Boy I would kill to have such manipulation skills. God knows how handy that skill would be in winning arguments or moots =__="

Alwi loves phones, especially BB but for the love of all things holy, he will not hold it himself -.-"

Would you lookit him dictate his grandmaw, aiyoyo!

Hmm..I do think I'm getting ahead of myself. Today's theme would be the RAWKSTAR of the family, Alwi. I kid you not. He has good looks (yes I'm a bias auntie), knows what he wants AND he knows how to get it everytime. Diva alert?

Believe me, the things he would do to get us to pick him up or do something he does not want to do is fantastic. From tantrums to howls to some pretty awesome back-arching move of his. He's so flexible that its scary at times to watch o_o"

The lil celebrity refusing to tak-tih

Sampai bila tak nak jalan Alwi, jenuh kami nak dukung =(

Alwi also is quite a picky eater apparently. In his younger days (tua sangatlah kan budak tu sekarang), he used to just eat everything we put in front of him that we thought we were blessed to have such a good and easy baby.

Boy were we proved wrong.

Only recently did we find out that Alwi is a bit unmotivated when it comes to eating slightly chewy food. Wait, let me rephrase that. Alwi just doesn't like to chew. PERIOD.

My sis, HamsterHamsap, is at her wit's end trying to coax Alwi to start taking rice porridge or maybe even boiled chicken as she says its about time he does. But oh-no-sirree, the rockstar does not like to chew hence everytime my sister gives him something texturey (rice etc), he will promptly make this "oh why do you torture me with this?!?!" expression before promptly spitting out the aforementioned food. Very de drama-king. I myself am torn between feeling exasperated or feeling damn proud to have such an amusing kid as a nephew.

Illusion : Grandpaw's lil helper

Reality : Grandpaw's lil mess-maker

3 guesses as to who had to clean his mess afterwards =_="

Alwi is generally a happy baby. Very happy baby. But only when any one of us is around. Other times he's quite a somber lil kiddo when left alone. I guess that's the reason why we tend to tote him all round the house just to keep him occupied. Which is good as its kind of sad to see him playing all by himself whenever both Mummy and Daddy are out working oncall shifts at the hospital and the rest of the family are occupied with their own work. Sometimes its quite heartbreaking to see how excited he gets whenever any of us come back from work as he would literally be crawling at top speed to get at us. If he could jump, I do think he would have jump-tackled us.

Bosan sangat duduk rumah main dengan bibik aja ek Alwi?

However as both his parents are doctors working in the country's busiest hospital, like it or not Alwi will have to get used to spending his days mostly chilling with Grandpaw + Grandmaw or hanging out with his two insane aunties. A bit de unorthodox, but oh well takpe, nanti sampai bila-bila he'll always be the favourite grandson and nephew = amount duit raya paling banyak beb 8) (lucky kid T---T)

Gambar yang sangat amat ter-expose but I like it as he's actually standing!

I am actually missing the lil tyke as currently he's away in Kuching for some relative's wedding. Didnt really get a chance to see him all thoroughout the week (with work and moot and all) so I really wanted to lepaks with him during the weekend. So you could just imagine my disappointment when I found out that my sister and her whole family had left for Kuching for the whole weekend. Oh woe! T--T

Along, cepatlah balik.

(Hence the reason for this post)

_____________________________________________

"Sayalah duta baru Chewy walaupun hakikatnya saya tidak suka chew!"

P.S: Shairil loves the fact that her nephew is an even bigger drama-king than she is <3

Of not having enough time to not do anything =X

2010-05-12T09:33:00.000-07:00

Kelakar.

Sepatutnya cuti tapi rasa macam tak cuti pulak. I still have to go to Shah Alam every other day to settle proposals. I still get the usual aggravation in terms of certain parties being annoying in the sense of being unable to just be direct. The only difference between now and when the semester is on is that I don't have to go to classes =_=" Oh well, the most we can do is be grateful for small blessings no?

On a side note, I have just realized that I am easily swayed by opinions of people I consider as close friends. Very dangerous when said friends have ulterior motives. Also especially dangerous when the news can lead to instances where links of friendships are broken and trust is shattered to the point of no return. I really must take extra care next time to stand firm to my own beliefs and not to make any opinions until I get the true story from both sides.

To that I SWEAR.

P.S: I will apologize to those I have done wrong. Its not much but its the best I can do.

Random note:

In last Tuesday's Baby G class, this was the choreography she taught us. Albeit there was a few changes but the overall effect was there. In the video it looks oh-so-hawt but when we amateurs did it haruslah rupa macam batang kayu menari kan? XD

P.S: Shairil ~~loves~~ hates being manipulated. I do the manipulating here buster, so bugger off!

Of kicking of the shoes and living the life of leisure.

2010-05-09T08:27:00.000-07:00

This is it people.

4 1/2 months of stressful never-ending suspense period of studying + 2 weeks of pure examination torture, sudden mysterious illness and heartache, now I can finally say I have survived my part 4 safely. After all that jazz, I do think I've earned the right to forget the fact that I do think I bombed my last paper (oi vey =.=") or the fact that my journey to the endline is still far. ....Nahhh let's keep the stress till later, I have my sanity to hold on to.

Until then...

HO-LI-DAYYY HERE I COMEEEE~~!!

...well if you are going to be all technical about it, holidays started about 5 days ago but considering the fact that I am an accomplished slacker, this post could only be posted today =D

As per usual, what is holiday if you do not fill it with doing...absolutely nothing~! ^^ No need to go into details, but lets just say while the rest of the world are on tenderhooks with the whole election fiasco (and I'm not just referring to the by-election in Malaysia), I have been happily vegetating at home while playing lets-pass-the-godawful-virus-around with my nephew, Alwi.

Speaking of which, to anybody who thinks they need to boost their immune system, by all means hang around an infant @ toddler when they're sick cause ~~damn~~ WOW, the virus they pass around are not the "generic" ones we usually get. I mean, yea I am not the perfect example of picture perfect health, but being ill with cold + cough + fever for 2 weeks just after the lil tyke sneezed once at ya? So not normal =__="

ANYWAYS.

Rotting at home this time around is a bit different than usual firstly because dadzor had bought another ps3 to be put in his room (cause he says we hangout in my sister's room too often >_>") plus there's the lil tyke around to ~~bully~~ play with =3 Everyday is a game of multitasking chores while toting the kid around. Neko swears that by the time her wedding comes, we will all have super-macho arms because of Alwi. All that Enercal my sister drank during pregnancy really paid off, the kid weights a ton! @@" Not to mention the fact that he's going through a slight separation anxiety since his mommy just went back to work (she took 6 months unpaid leave just to take care of him), so he's a bit edgy when it comes to being left alone. He'll scream the whole house down unless there's someone in his line of sight. Senang cerita, someone has to lepak with him at any given time.

So, whenever he's left with me, more often than not he'll be in front of the ps3 making a mess out of all the games and wires. So cute, rasa macam nak pijak-pijak je X3

Kecomelan buntut yang tak terhingga

This post basically has no point, saja nak tayang buntut Alwi XD.

P.S : Shairil sangatlah teramat-amat love Alwi. Why don't you? =3

Of crappers and shit falling from the sky, both at the same time.

sgdvwvkobjtbnkr.dvndlkmvs.

Words cannot describe the shittiness and how frustating this week has been, and its barely even Wednesday! >_>"

1) Supposed to have a semi-breezy time doing test for law, nope, didn't get that cause yours truly had to be oh-so-distracted going to Jakarta for the weekend. Hence, the equation is as follows:

Holiday + didn't study + test = SUICIDE.

What makes it even more frustating is that I KNOW the concept, its just the teeny-weeny details like the name of cases that escapes me. Small mistakes, but HUGE repercussions. I so do not want to repeat T--T

2) Presentation didn't go that well either, we basically got bombarded left-right-center by the lecturer in regards to our topic. Another bout of frustation ensues as we were not criticized because of mistake in content but more of mistake in formalities ie; sentence construction and citation.

I. HATE. FORMALITIES. did i ever mention that?

3) We were supposed to interview some bigshot today. The appointment was set since last week so understandably we were excited. So you could our disappointment when we received a phone call in the wee hours of the morning saying that the dude was busy so he had to reschedule. Not an outright rejection but it makes us feel insignificant nonetheless. Hopefully he doesn't cancel again the next time *crosses fingers*

Muka kanak-kanak yang hanya mampu senyum walaupun life gives them everything but lemons.

Waiting for the bus in formal clothing is so lame. Thanks goodness in strength in numbers.

Of moving out, and moving in again.

2010-03-25T01:31:00.000-07:00

As I've mentioned before, this semester has been the most intense and nerve-wracking in all my years studying. Every single day is another day of submissions and deadlines and lecturer's breathing down your neck. Not exactly the most conducive environment to promote good health, oh well, alls in a day of a student =/

BUT.

Nothing. And I mean NOTHING can beat the harum-scarum which I had gone through in the last 2 weeks. I swear, if I can survive this, i can survive ANYTHING.

For the past year or so, I have been renting a house in Shah Alam with 7 other gals. Yeaa my house in Damansara ain't that far from campus but when you have full and ever-changing schedule like yours truly, its pretty insane to commute every day. Needless to say, we are relatively happy with the house as its big enough to fit us all and small enough not to be expensive.

As per usual with any lease, we were required to sign a one-year contract. Needless to say we were the epitome of good rentees; we paid our rents on time and keep the house in good condition. Likewise, the landlord was a cool indian dude and he was most attentive in all our complains with the house.

However, nothing lasts forever.

Things started to get shitty the moment our contract expired late last year. We began to be bombarded by various "interested parties", brought by this agent as the landlord wanted to sell the house. At first we were very gracious to entertain but after awhile it became rather annoying to be lazing around at home and suddenly finding strangers knocking on your door asking to see the house. I mean, yes we can accommodate if you had notified us earlier but noooo they just decided to pop in and assume that we would be in. Piss off!

Anyway, about 2 months ago we received news that the house was sold. Not suprisingly we were worried about our status as that would mean that we officially have no place to stay. But our landlord had called and said that we could stay on until the end of the semester. Hearing that, we all breathed a sigh of relief and decided to put the issue of house rental to after our finals and we were bogged down with too much work to do it now.

Boy, were we deceived.

Last Thursday, we got a call during lecture from the agent who found us our current house , telling us oh-so-delightfully that we have a month to basically, get out from the house as the new owner wants to renovate.

"FISH"-TAS-TIC!

After an hour of yelling and cursing certain parties, we all decided that we need to just suck it up and deal with it. No use marah-marah the landlord or agent as its not going to get us a new house.

In lieu with this situation, we began our search to find a new place. Boy, I wish I never have to go through this again. We basically scoured ALL the housing areas in the near vicinity of campus. After all the houses I've been to, I can safely say I can be a real estate agent yang berjaya in Shah Alam. I can describe to you all the pros and cons of each house type. I've walked every row of the dratted Pusat Komersial in the freaking downpour just to be disappointed (apparently they used the agent system, stewpiak). Needless to say, after 3 days of "trekking", my mood was as sour as spoiled milk.

But, thank goodness, we finally found a place in section 8. True, its small as compared to our old place but with a party of 5 people, its plenty wide enough. Plus the landlady is uber nice, she gave us like so many facilities (washer machine woot woot) and she repainted the walls so it doesnt look dingy as flats usually do.

As its the middle of the month and finances are rather tight, I opted not to use transport services (ie; lorry) and utilized Daddy dearest's isuzu trooper. Longgok semua atas kerete, senang cerita.

After 3 days of packing and moving, FINALLY we're done. All thanks to Akmal, Pak Lah and Ayuni. Korang memang kawan sehidup semati (owh over!). Semoga persahabatan kita berkekalan ke hujung jalan.

In the meantime, I really really REALLY hope this will be the last time I will need to shift houses. Packing is uber pain =__=

P.S. : Shairil loves you, but Shairil does not want to move anymore.

P.S.: Nak gomol Alwi NOW. Puh-lease T---T

of late night "parties" in Cempaka. How fun.

2010-03-22T09:21:00.000-07:00

There's no other way to describe it.

I am. STRESSED.

Yea yea, the word "stress" and "student" goes hand-in-hand but seriously this semester brings a whole different level to the word =__=" Its one submission and deadline after another, I can barely breathe @@"

Plus this semester is like the first time I've been put into a position where I LITERALLY have to count my expenditure each day. Yes yes before this I have been rather reckless in my spending, maybe its due to the fact that I get my allowance every two weeks. But due to a recent imposition by Daddy dearest that I am to get monthly allowances, let's just say I am rather slow in learning how to manage my finances =_=" Oh and the fact that my advisors owe me a huge amount of money DOES NOT help with my situation.

Memang dasar kemiskinan and makan roti je lah sampai next month gamaknya >_<"

So hungry..haih..

_________________________________________

On another note, the curse of one year and a half strikes again!

I've noticed a worrisome pattern, whatever activity or relationship or commitment I am involved in would only last a year and a half. These are the proof:

1) My last 2 relationships, around that duration

2) The last 2 houses I rented also lasted a year and a half before certain circumstances forced us to move

3) My ability to stick to one group of friends of any particular activity (ie: yoga)

.....like daym. I seem so feckle when its listed this way o____o"

Must work harder to stick to one thing.

2010-02-17T07:37:00.000-08:00

Nothing new to rant / scream / gossip / tell for today. Just wanted to share my current ipod playlist =D

The theme for the next 3 weeks is...*insert drum roll effect*

Of fangs and high school rejects turned cool!

Twilight, New Moon and Glee OST!

Yezzaaa I managed to pull a tricksie and got my dad to buy 'em for me (actually more like I just took the CDs and tarik muka seposen when it was time to pay 'em XD;). Me loves me new CDs~ *strokes*

Anyways, for the first 2 albums, it is the movie sountrack for *durh*, Twilight and New Moon movie. I want to show support for the franchise yet I do not want to join the norm by going all goo-goo-gaa-gaa over rob Pattinson or Taylor Lautner sooo tada~! I ogle over the soundtrack ^^

Notable Songs : Paramore - Decode

The Black Ghosts - Full Moon

Mutemath - Spotlight

Iron & Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth

Notable Songs : Lykke Li - Possibility

Bon Iver & St. Vincent - Roslyn

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Done All Wrong (very the country, nice!)

Alexandre Desplat - New Moon

(actually album ni tak habis dengar lagi, will update later)

I also managed to snag the Glee series soundtrack. Yarrr around this time Neko and HHamsap would be throwing rocks at me for actually buying the soundtrack as they already have it in their computer but so whattttt I want the actual CD. Nothing beats having the CD to own. I'm anal that way, deal with it >p

Yang ni semua lagu best, just listen to all =)

Before I go, here, have a sneak peek ^_-

Nothing amuses me like a video on crack, yeaa!

Err..his beard is uber sexy? ...NOT!

I salute a person that can keep a decent tune while playing a guitar o_o

I chup ni lagu wedding X3

Random, yes. But any guy who can sing this song wins my vote any day.

Shairil loves P. Ramlee T--T (tibe)

Music gets my feet thumping. Music soothes my soul.

2010-02-17T07:11:00.000-08:00

Well well well, who would have thunk? I do think I'm partial to dancing =3

(note: yes Along, i know "thunk" doesn't exist, but i like it so go away!)

I have always accepted the fact that the society was divided into many categories;

1) the ones who are fat vs the ones who are thin

2) the ones who are academically smart vs the ones who are artistically inclined (i refuse to call them stupid. Just because they're different doesn't make them dumb)

3) the slackers vs the shakers

4) the ones who can sing vs the ones yang please don't ever sing @@
5) the physically dazzling ones vs the ones pretty inside =)

6) the shy demure ones vs the extroverted graceless ones

7) yada yada yada

In lieu with above, the point that I'm trying to convey is that, I have accepted since day 1 that I do not and will never be classified as "the ones that can dance". Its ironic how my mother was a university dancer and she also did part-time modelling yet unfortunately she did not find it necessary to bequeath those particular genes to her offsprings. As a result, both my sisters and I have zero ability in terms of dancing, in other words, kami keras macam kayu =_="

Ulek Mayang - I would kill to be able to dance like this

Needless to say, due to my inability to move according to beat has caused considerable envy every time I see another person (especially when its a friend >_>") having the skill to groove oh-so-fantastically. Tak kesah la whether its waltz, ballet, hip-hop, belly-dancing or even tap-dancing! I sangatla dengki tahap boleh gigit kuku kaki T--T

yes yes, you wonder why this is such an issue to me? Well there are some people lucky enough to be born without any sense of shame (I mean this in a good way tau), that means even thought they dance for shiat but they couldnt care less what the rest of the world thinks as long as they have fun. Again, unfortunately, I'm not one of those enlightened few. I might shake a lil booty when there's nobody around to witness the horrific sight, but the moment I think there is a slight possibility that someone might see.....STOP RIGHT THERE!! *insert screeching tyre sound*

Apelah, dahla tak boleh menari, pastu malu-malu kucing melebeyh pulak. Orang bukannya kisah pun.

Methinks its the Asian mentality getting the best of me; "Stay in line, stay out of sight, do not go against what the elders tell you to do, and most of all, do NOT BRING SHAME upon thyself or your family".

Tapi...walaupun tak tahu..tapi nak jugak..tak boleh ke?

Some people suggested trying out the clubbing scene however I find the environment there rather disconcerting to say the least. The whole bumping-n-grinding dancing while getting high on booze is soooo not my cup of tea. The music's fantastic, but not great enough to actually get me going the next time.

If only the DJs would actually publish cds of their mixes, that would be AWE-SOME! >3

Plus the fact I'm "fun-sized" = the rest of the world's armpit level, makes the experience not so enjoyable =_="

Needless to say, when a friend of mine, Ray, introduced me to her dance classes, I was a bit hesitant to say aye as tp join would mean that I will have to dance. In public. With tons of people around to watch. *gulps*

However, when you are uber hyperactive + persistent + body conscience friends like mine, (yes, I am referring to you Akmal), you can never really say no when they set it in their mind to get you to say yes to something. So, the dazzling duo (Ray + Akmal) manages to persuade me to try out this aerobic dance class called Zumba.

So there I was, wednesday night 5.59pm, all decked out in my american pirate headscarf, slowly hyperventilating with the thought of dancing in front of people. Seriously i thought I was going to have a stroke at the rate my heart was beating. Then..the music came on.....

.....hey..what do you know...it wasn't that bad.

In fact, it was F-U-N! I mean, the music was great, the energy and spirit was super contagious. And the best part is, nobody was staring at me.

At 7.00pm wednesday night, I was officially hooked. Nak lagi nak lagi! XD

One hour dancing classes did not seem like torture anymore. The time moves so fast everytime I go for dancing classes now. I count the seconds till the next class. Oh did I mention that I am now a member of Celebrity Fitness? Sanggup tu, just for the classes =p Plus they also give discounts to a myriad of shops, thats helps ^^

Dancing has made me more aware of my body and also more confident in myself (Tiba-tiba bunyi macam some motivational advert pulak o_O). No more shy shy cat, I live for the moment when the groove gets to me X3 I would certainly recommend anybody who has problems with their confidence to join. Its therapeutic in a fun and healthy way =)

Thank you Ray sayang and Akmal dearie, you guys are the best gym buddies any gal could ever wish for! OH and not forgetting Ray's sister, Aja, your dedication and seemingly endless energy to go to the gym is indeed a motivation to me =)

Till the next dancing class, au revoir!

P.S: Shairil LOVES to dance now, so should you!

Of Lusts for Gadgets.

2010-02-07T10:20:00.000-08:00

I have always had a thing a with gadgets. Whether it be a new phone, a new headphone, heck even a new kind of food steamer gets me distracted beyond words!

(Okay, food steamer doesn't exactly fall under "gadget" category, but you get my drift?=)

Would you just look at this beauty...with this i can say bye-bye to oily food = fat thighs mwahahaha

My obsession with food steamer is due to the fact that I love dim sum and sausages. And somehow I find it tastier than when I fry or boil it. Sedap sehingga menjilat jari tangan dan kaki I tell you, serious tak tipu =X Lagi-lagi bila calit dengan cili sos Aminah Hassan, perghh nikmat beb *droolz*. Amatlah sesuai pabila waktu petang-petang di rumah sewa and tang tu tengah malas nak keluar cari makan 8D (Plus the fact that I now have to budget my expenses, so kena tighten my spending belt sikit ><")

Wow..I never knew Aminah Hassan ada keluarkan kicap o_o"

Btw, sesiapa yang nak tengok video tomato dan cili menari-nari, dipersilakan pergi website Aminah Hassan, I was kept amused for about 5 seconds before the song got to me ><"

OKAY BACK TO THE TOPIC..>_>"

With the recent boom in phones, it is easy to understand why I am constantly on edge.Yelah, its like every other day there will be a new phone out in the market. Hari ni sony ericsson keluarkan Xperia X2, then there's BBerry Bold II, and of course the ever-awesome iPhone 3GS. I swear if bukan sebab iPhone is touch-screen based, dah lama I hantar proposal dekat ayahanda tersayang for it(I love you always Abah =3 eceh sempat). However considering the fact yang I ni jenis kalut + kasar = no touch-based gadgets for me T--T sedeyh sia.

Another reason why I am annoyed at the new editions of phones in market is due to the fact that I am stuck using the old Motorola razor. Don't get me wrong, its pretty decent to look at, plus its very easy to tote around but the fact that I have EXTREMELY limited memory space on it makes it kind of lame. Imagine only being able to keep about 40 messages and a few pictures maximum, pure torture I call it =.=" .No wonder Motorola has always been known to be more of the looks-over-function brand. Uber sexy to look at, but feature-wise, other brands are better =\

Looking at the fact that here I am gushing over iPhone 3Gs, so you can guess how suprised (and somewhat) disappointed I am when my dad gave me a Blackberry. I mean, there I was planning in my head that I a going to "tender" a proposal to the dadzor next week for an iPhone and then bang! The dad gives a Blackberry Bold to yours truly.

I shall smack myself now for being ungrateful, at least better than nothing no?

Lookit at all the colours @@"

Alwi is addicted to tv. Yikes.

2009-12-25T08:22:00.000-08:00

Aiyoyo.

My baby nephew has officially gotten attached to the television. Mein gott we're screwed.

Alwi (the said baby nephew), has always been a very interactive baby. Interactive baby here as in he's very responsive when approached, very curious to his surroundings and responds readily to verbal suggestions. Sure he's a bit sluggish when it comes to physical movements (dulu he's a tad lazy when it comes to rolling over =.=") but hey! He's definitely wayy more active and amiable as compared to other babies I've seen. And not to mention he's inheritated the family trait; motivated when there is appropiate reward available. Bribery is oh-so-effective. Yeaa not exactly the kind of thing people usually cultivate in kids but its worked for the rest of us, so what-the-hey~! XD

Usually his days are filled with either his Mummy or his Nda Jan or any of the rest of the family, but since we are on holiday at the moment, everyones' either out shopping @ sightseeing and by the time we get home, we're too tired to play much with Alwi. Needless to say after a few minutes of ooh-aah with him, we usually put him down on his mat to play on his own.

The neglected boy

Due to this, after a few days of boredom (VERY strong motivation in our family) he miraculously mastered the ability to roll over (good boy!) and the first thing he rolled over to is..the TV o__O Even if we move him to another spot he'll angle his head back to the tv. Especially when there's a hot chick. This theory was tested many times, rinse-and-repeat gitew. It is beyond doubt, he's hooked.

OH-EMM-GEEE.

Balik Malaysia its back to watching the fan go round-n-round boy! Don't get used to it >\

2009-12-24T09:29:00.000-08:00

I love you.

3 words. 3 simple words.

Yet it is undeniable how big of an impact those three little words can bring.

Today I am not going to bore my stalker sister, HamHam, with an entry lamenting about my current relationship status (or lack of, sheesh technicalities! =.=), today we shall look from the brighter side of life. From the neighbour's greener pasture while wearing rose-tinted glasses or whatever shiat, you name it babe. We're doing a RAGE--less entry for once, saje nak cuba XD

And lagipun, buat entry depressing every single time is not very fun no? *sepakdirisendirilajulaju* ...wow jauhnya meleret, okay back to the topic!

December 22nd 2009, 12 noon

I shall forever remember this day as the day I first met Farquhar. But before I go all gushy about him let me just clarify something. Farquhar is my knight in shining armour. He's the guy I've been fantasizing since I was about 7 and first starting day-dreaming of how my wedding is going to be. He's smart, considerate, good-looking and oh, he cooks as well.

Senang cerita, he does not exist (nama pun angan-angan, go figure). Anyhoooo~

Pernah tak korang berazam @ berangan about how your wedding is going to be like in the future (ini hanya applicable to girls or those metrosexual guys, lelaki sejati yang too insecure to do this pfftt). From what's the colour theme, the amount for duit hantaran you're going to deman-er i mean humbly request from the groom, the flowers, yada yada yada and all. Well, one little detail which girls like yours truly have also imagined is that we pray (fervently i might add) that our future groom has the same initials as we do so that bila letak dekat kad kahwin it will be oh-so-kyoote and adorable sebab it rhymes (you may gag here if you want).

For example :

You are humbly invited to attend the wedding of

Farhana

Farquhar

(alalala chomeylnya)

Hahaha okay maybe not to that exact name, but..you get my drift ^_-

Since this teeny weeny detail was known to my sisters (entah siapa pecah tembelang, sepak kang), it has been a continuous joke between us when is it that I'll meet my knight in shining armour. And he does not just come in one name, he can be Farquhar today, and Fakrudin tomorrow. Oh I'm not fussy, anything goes as long as it starts with an 'F' XD

This is ogle-fest versi persian warrior, i loikeee

(yea, amatlah unrealistic, but hey! Its MY fantasy)

So, there I was waiting for the train at High Street Kensington on a chilly Tuesday afternoon, counting the seconds to lunchtime when suddenly my female radar gave a buzz (or more like a loud yell) and told me to look to the side. So needless to say, I turned accordingly and boy do I not regret it. There he was...standing with a friend (so sorry pal, didnt pay much attention to you) in a green vest and long cream suede coat. My appreciation of the male species gave him a 9.5 rating sebab I can't give him a 10 just to avoid legal repercussions (hello, even iklan detergent janji 99% je, avoid liabilities). At first I thought he was a Hispanic dude cause he looks like a malay but he speak wicked english (complete with slang yer kawan-kawan) abuthen Neko said that he's a malay cause she heard him conversing with his pal. Dahla se-mart, pastu he was holding the tube like thingy architects usually carry around cause they put their sketches in it. Ahh he's an educated person, nicee. Fulamak this is fantastic,I have now re-found my faith in malay men kekekeke >p On that fated day, mystery dude in cream was officially knighted as Farquhar.

As I am fully aware that this fascination will be short-lived due to reality kicking me in the arse sooo I took my happy share of ogling while I could. Initially we took the same train but due to the rest of my family's slower speed of pace *sniff*, I lost him before getting on the train on the Central line. Hence that marks the end of my extremely short-lived one-sided love affair.

...Haih.

Okay, dah cukup angau, back to holiday-ying! ^^

_____________________________________

HMM.

Suddenly this horrible thought just went through my head. My pal Tim's cousin is studying architecture in London (or somewhere in Britain, can't remember where).

............

I would choke myself with one of my baby nephew's numerous bibs if I had unconscionably ogled over Muhsin. Good gawd =_=". Seriously.

Sementara menunggu my real knight, there's no harm in a lil fantasy once in awhile no?

Never thought one can get sick of seafood o_O" Hanoi~!

2009-12-04T07:51:00.000-08:00

(This is supposed to be the 2nd part to a 2-part entry, but o well, since I'm not done with the first part, I'll just make this do with this one first =p)

Once again, another look into what I've encountered while holidaying in Hanoi, Vietnam, this time focusing on my personal favourite topics; ZE FOOD

Asians are usually affiliated with preference to dine on seafood rather than meat as compared to the Westerners. This is probably due to the fact that the climate in the Asian region provides us with this lovely creation of God called "spice". Seriously, those of us living on the side of the world tend to take our ability to obtain spice easily for granted. I've once went to France for about a week and believe me honey, eating fish with cream for the 8th or so time in a week can drive a person up the wall. Yes, its THAT BAD.

Okayla fine, maybe I'm exaggerating and me having the typical budak kampung preferences kind of restricts my ability to accept different types of food. Give me sambal or curry everyday and I'm a happy camper =D

Fish and cream sauce. Some people love it, but I guess it's just not my cup of tea =\

Anyhow, like I've mentioned before, unlike Malaysia, Vietnam is blessed to have both the 4 seasons (summer,spring,autumn and winter) AND the world-famous Asian rain-and-sun climate. The northern part of Vietnam (such as Hanoi) gets the 4 season while the southern part of Vietnam (such as Ho Chi Minh City) gets the rain-and-sun climate. As my parents and I went to Hanoi and it was during winter,the experience of dining Vietnamese food is made enjoyable due to the fact that Vietnamese food is rich with varieties of food made up of soups, seafood and whatever it is that they can combine with black pepper. Makes the tummy all warm and toasty~ x3

Speaking of black pepper, the Vietnamese seem to LOVE to include black pepper in all their dishes. Heck, even the salads have 'em. And don't get me started on their spring rolls =.=" Black pepper plus all their signature seasonings give an interesting twang to your taste buds but for those of us who are not used to black pepper in your food, be prepared to get itchy scratchy sore throats for a few days (like yours truly >_>"). Nevertheless, Vietnamese dining is a must-try for those adventurous people =)

Anyhow, moving on with some of the places we dined while we there.

One of the most notable place we went to would definitely have to be the Bobby Chinn Restaurant. Looking at the name, you would think that the proprietor of the restaurant would be a Vietnamese but nuh-uh, apparently he's a Egyptian-Irish-Chinese mix.

All the fusion of heritage must be his inspiration for world-famous fusion food.One of his signature dishes would definitely have to be the Wasabi Mashed Potatoes. Didn't get the chance to get a picture of that as it was gobbled up so fast that I tak sempat snap a picture of it =\ Another attraction factor to the Bobby Chinn restaurant is his cheeky sense of humour which is clearly illustrated in the menu.

Note the last item; I'm on a Diet --> 00 vietnam dong
Cheeky indeed >D

The rest of the menu was equally hilarious to read. We were all so amused with it that we even bought a copy of it each (Yes,the menu was up for sale at $5 each. Whatta way to make profit =p). Have it somewhere in the luggage but too lazy to rummage for it and scan it up to be uploaded here =p You can go to Bobby Chinn Restaurant website and have a look-see. Its currently being renovated so maybe in the future aye? =)

The ambience and look of the restaurant is also something to be said. The whole rose petals being thrown all over the place reminds you of the cover for the American Beauty movie o_O"

Roses are sexy and romantic but too much of it it starts looking a bit disturbing. Or is it just me? o_O

Each room is separated by partitions made up of red silk. Uber sexy at night but methinks it would look gaudy during daytime o_o
NOTE: the painting at the back. Very artistic, but a tad unsettling to the tummy. A change of decor is needed, perhaps?

Okay, maybe I je yang suka bright lights but I LOVE the whole candles and lantern decor they put up here.

Grilled Prawn with Sticky Coconut Rice. I would give it a 6/10 rating kot. Never in a million years would I have thought to eat udang with nasi pulut o_o"

Next up! The fantastical seafood we had while riding on a boat around Ha Long Bay. As I may have mentioned before, the seafood in Hanoi is THE BOMB. Best giler sampai tahap bila balik Malaysia tanak makan seafood for a week because 1) dah muak seafood =.="2) seafood dekat sini is incomparable in terms of freshness. Heck the food we ate on the boat memang fresh from the sea kot, heck it was still flopping around on the deck in front of our eyes @@

Uncle macho sempat posing while fishing out our chosen fish.

Fishes that are big enough will be straight away sold at the market but smaller fishes will be kept in natural "tanks" so that it can continue growing.

Ta-da~! Fresh crabs au naturale (no seasonings used, just its own natural juices).

Continuing with the whole seafood thang, we also ate at this superb seafood restaurant called Pho Bien. Yang ni memang seafood yang kaw-kaw fresh + best! Its so fresh that there was this one time, I was doing the whole tourist-jakun act by walking around the reataurant snapping pictures of random things when one of the waiters walked by carrying a basket filled with this huge garroupa. There I was benignly watching when suddenly the waiter grabbed the fish by its tail and whacked it headfirst on the road. Keynote: ON THE ROAD. Yes yes, everybody says its the norm to whack a fish on its head to kill it, but I don't think it was necessary to whack it that way AND on the road where god-knows how many have walked on with their shoes. Not very hygienic when you think about it >_<" But, o well, I ate there and I'm not sick or dead so the food's all fine i guess =p

The waitress is whacking the crabs to make our dining experience easier.

Oc Huong Nuong (Grilled Winkle)
tastes like tougher version of "siput sedut". A bit freaky to look at at first glance, but once you get over the initial horror, i must say its quite an experience to eat it =P

Tom "Sauna" (Special Sugpo in "sauna" style)
The prawns were ALIVE and then they were put on super-hot stones. Then a cover is put on the pot. The prawn is then cooked by the hot pressure arising from the stones, hence, sauna prawns =)

Sweet Sauce Live Crab

This was my debut attempt at eating female crabs. Never knew they had genders, thought they were one of the animals that were bisexual (like siput babi). The females have eggs in them, and it tastes like the yolk in telur masin. The sauce is sweet, even overtly so but after a few mouthfuls you are able to bypass the sweetness. Overall, its pretty hard to go wrong with crabs and this dish definitely gets a thumbs-up =)

We are very happy with the food, nyum-nyum~! ^^

Other than these 3 restaurants, we also went to this halal Malaysian-Indonesian restaurant by the name of Nisa. However, I can't supply you guys with pictures from there as I was blown away by the sight of fish-head curry and popia that I didn't bother with pictures =p Sorry dudes. After 2 days of eating Vietnamese food, getting Malaysian food is truly a balm to the tortured food soul XD;

Hmhm I guess thats about it in regards to food in Hanoi. I must say its been quite a gastronomical experience and my tummy has no complains ^^

_______________________________________________

P.S: Shairil loves Hanoi. Eventhough she is sure she has high-blood pressure because of the food there now.

Adios~!

Let's toss the coin, shall we?

2009-10-29T08:58:00.000-07:00

Every so often in our lives, we would come to a situation where we are required to make a choice before we are able to move further. Most of the times the choices we have to make mostly revolves around mundane things such as what colour shirt should we wear with that favourite pair of jeans, or do we choose to drag our laurels out of bed to go to that class or slip back under the covers because the rain had created an oh-so-comfy atmosphere that just begs you to continue sleeping. Small, innocuous choices in life that doesn't really leave that big of an impact in your life (unless you had chosen the wrong colour combination. Stripes and swirls in severe contrasting colours DO NOT match, so spare us the pain, quit trying @@")

However, how about decisions which affect the BIG issues? BIG issues here referring to major ones hokay, not those remeh-temeh ones such as "Adakah ia wajar untuk saya makan walaupun sebenarnya tak lapar, tapi pasal orang belanja so nak makan jugak wthimerepek" kind of issues. I mean those issues that could affect not only yourself but also to those around you.

Actually, lemme correct that, let's just deal with decisions which could affect those around you. Kalau nak buat semua, harusla sampai tahun depan tak settle-settle lagi =.="

Time and again, I find myself in the awkward situation where I am torn deciding between two (or more) options. Pilih option A, I sakit hati but Bedah (bukan nama sebenar) gumbira, while pilih option B, stake interest I selamat tapi Bedah pulak saket hati. Nak jaga hati/hak sendiri, orang kata self-centred tapi kalau asyik fikir orang lain, habis kepala kena pijak. Heck, bukan sekadar kepala, segalanya dipijaknya! *seethes in aggravation*

Hmm..I do believe this is turning into one of those RAGE posts. Dayum.

Needless to say I am up to my neck with trying to balance out considering other peoples' feelings while making sure I don't bend over backwards while doing it. As whiny as this is going to sound, I'm tired of it. Tired of being there for you when you don't even care. Don't get me wrong, I'm not asking you to thank me everytime I do you a favour, but have some common decency to at least realize what other people do for you. Don't ever take people for granted because seriously, your actions might just be the thing which will push other people away.

Oh and another thing, try to realize that people who can laugh and chill with you on the good days are not necessarily your real friends. I mean think about it, yes they're cool and they're fun to be with and all BUT, try to remember when things get rough and circumstances around you seem bleak, which of those people are there for you? And being there for you, I don't mean just being able to text you or call you through the phone. Heck, we have the local BeFrienders telephone helpline for those kind of things =_= The existence of such services proves that everyone has the ability to listen, from the cute guy you were making sheep eyes with in the library to the annoying git you had to share a table with in the mamak shop. The point I'm trying to point out here is that EVERYONE can listen, but can we say for sure that everyone has the ability (and patience) to stay and help? Haruslah tak kan? At the rough times baru most of us realize that those people whom you can laugh and gossip the day away are conveniently absent when you need them the most. Distance is not a defense, if they really care they can travel 73463264923865kms. And don't diss people just because you guys don't see eye to eye on certain issues. You both have valid points, not everything needs to be agreed upon. Learn to agree to disagree =\

Oh and one other thing and this goes to everyone (including myself ><"). Don't ask for advice if you're just only gonna reject it. Yes, there are some advices given that its stupid to follow, for example:

Girl A : Babe..I'm so depressed..I caught my boyfie cheating on me..AGAIN..what should I do..eventhough its the 287435734858 time he's done it, but I still love him...

Girl B : Don't give up, I'm sure he'll change one day...just hang in there kay...

POOOTTTTTTT WRONG ADVICE!! Those kind of advices are like the perfect recipe for a lifetime of heartache. Give your friend a chance, tell her to just ditch the ass.

Before anybody comes out in righteous anger, take awhile and ponder about this. Yea, it might sound extremely presumptious of me to support "meddling" in other people's lives BUT take into account that certain situations calls for intervention. Would you sit back and watch a beloved friend continue making choices which hurts her? Tak kan? =\

Tapiiiii...an advisor must be prepared to take on the burden of making sure that whatever advice you give do not completely influence the mind of the advisee (is there even such a word?). I know this doesnt make sense but i'll try to simplify it.

Advisor : Has the duty to point out the issues and (maybe, depending on situation) lay out the possible remedies which could be taken by the person in question. An advisor has to be neutral and objective. They cannot be swayed by prejudice as bias as this could affect in unrealistic or illogical advice. Plus an advisor has to be prepared to face the consequences if things go bad due to some of the advice given.

Advisee (the poor soul that has the problem) :
Has the obligation to listen (cause dia yang tanya opinion, kena dengar ar) and digest what is being said BUT he/she then has the sole responsibility to go back and decide on their own. They cannot, and I repeat CANNOT take the advice given just like that without ruminating on the pros and cons. This is because if they choose to act upon those advice and things go awry, they cannot blame the advisor. In the end, it was their choice to act upon the advice.

Its this kind of burden that makes me reluctant to give advice at times. Yea I know I have the "mak tiri" nickname with my housemates cause I like to nag and all, but whenever people come to me regarding serious issues, I have a serious problem whether to say anything at all. Dahla tengah sure tak sure samada its appropiate to intervene or not, then when you do say something but you see the advice masuk telinga kanan, keluar telinga kiri, I think I have valid cause to be annoyed. Then you realize that when these people come to you with their problems, they're not looking for solutions, they're just looking for a sympathetic ear. Sorry chicas, if you're looking for someone to layan you, go talk to someone, or better yet, get a plushie. They can give you the perfect blank stare as I would give if you come to me. Sekali dua boleh lah kot I layan, but selalu sangat dengar benda sama, even a monk could go mad @@"

2009-10-20T20:27:00.000-07:00

YESSSSS~~!! YATTAAAAAA~!! 2 DOWN, 5 TO GOOOOO~!!

The two things being referred to here would be my BEL (English subject) and my Mandarin (Third Language subject)

(calms down)

Hyaa~ The above jeritan batin (soul cry?) is in regards to me finishing two of this semester's subject. These two subjects are 100% based on assessment which had been carried out all thorough the semester, and thus it does not have a final paper during the examination period. Some people are of the opinion that this system is better as you do not need to wrack your brain at the end of the semester and putting all your hopes of scoring (or passing in certain desperate situations *gulps), in ONE paper. However, it also means that you would basically be on stress-mode ALL-THOROUGHOUT the semester all everything test, assignment and presentation counts.

Oh and add on the fact that 5% of your marks come from "class participation", you start seeing various people doing the monkey-act often in class. Monkey-act I'm referring to here would be the whole rising in class and randomly asking questions to which we either already know the answer to or merely because we want to stand-out in class. I'm guessing this new system was implemented with the intention to help make students' lives easier as we would have less subjects to study for during finals. I don't know, I myself am of the opinion that I like this system as i'm don't seem to be able to score fantabulously in the finals, but some of my friends despise it. Needless to say, this issue is still open for debate =\

This is basically a view of all of us scrambling to present our BEL assignment, 30% of our lives, eh-i mean our marks depend on us performing well here. With that in mind, of course i just had to have a mild panic attack while presenting. Bah, malas nak fikir, as long as its over and done with =_=

Harh! Last minute menyiapkan presentation, kantoi!

Ayuni doing her thang on "Honour-Killing". Your video rawks beb, berbaloi you main 5-10-40 kali dekat kitaorang to get our approval >p

Overall, we're all glad these two subjects are over and done with. Hopefully all turns out well and we won't have to be bothered by it again next semester. Hasta la vista bebeh!!

______________________________________

On a random note, I have (finally!) bought a new tupperware for my beloved snacking partner~

Yes. I love it to the extent that it requires new tupperware every few years or so. Don't question my love and loyalty. Nak gaduh? >E

I basically had numerous choices as to what type of tupperware I want my lavlies to be stored in. Do I want the one which is high-and-opens-at-the-top, or the low-wide-necked-easy-to-use one? Hmm decisions decisions...

Pondering the question of life and death 'ere. What 'chu think?

While I was busy balancing out the pros' and cons' of each type tupperware, needless to say my family left me as they thought I was being anal about it. Pfftt, penting weyhhh benda ni, maneleh pakai pilih je >( After 10 minutes, my sister basically told me to hurry it up or risk being left at the supermarket, BOO!)

Ta-da~! Ding-ding-ding! The low-wide-neck-easy-to-use tupperware wins!

May you (the tupperware) serve thy master well *jedi style*

P.S: Shairil loves YOU! (Ohmygawdburuknyarambut @@)

It is now 11.17 pm at night, and I have yet to touch my Mandarin books. Yes, I have finals for Mandarin tomorrow. Behold my procrastinating skillz! (I am so screwed >_<") Anyways, today has been filled with eating, eating, and more eating! and since I'm naturally lazy (refer to above), I shall leave it to my rajin + takde kerje + gigih sistahs to blog about it =P Don't forget to talk about the kitty uolls! In the meantime, to commemorate my feeling of crankyness plus nervousness due to the fact of finals being just around the corner plus a few other issues which would not be prudent to divulge here, I dedicate this song to all youse people.

FANTINE (LES MISERABLES) - I DREAMT A DREAM

There was a time when men were kind
When their voices were soft
And their words inviting
There was a time when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time
Then it all went wrong

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame

He slept a summer by my side
He filled my days with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came

And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

Hahahahahahahhahahahahaha kasihan Alwi. The stuff he has to go through whenever Mummy leaves him under our care while she goes out for chores. But all is well, there is a saying, "What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger!". Eh, what am I saying? I mean, his aunties treat him with all the care and love in the world. Mana pernah lambung-lambung gomol-gomol! Pinkie promise XD

Now, let's move on to the most common topic this month; Raya celebrations!

Yeayea, i can imagine whats going through everyone's minds; Pusing kanan raya, pusing kiri raya. Ape lagi borak pasal raya!?!? Lame! Boring! Move on!

Well my dears, the only thing i can reply to that would be; DAH NAMA PUN RAYA MENGONG. Deal with it! Don't be a scrooge and spoil the mood for everyone else. If you can't stand it, then stay at home for the whole ramadhan month. No one's forcing you to join the fun =\

Hmm. I just noticed that in every post I will have one segment where I will rant at the general public. Anger management problem perhaps? hmhm..hahahaha-erk =X

ANYWAYS, moving with the raya issue.

This is the debut year where the Ruslan family celebrates raya in Kay-ell (Kuala Lumpur for those who don't speak the lingo). I must say, the experience is indeed extremely different this time around. True we don't get to experience the authentic raya experience such as ;

1) Gaduh-for-the-bathroom in the morning with all your cousins and uncles and aunties
2) Argueing with smaller cousins for who gets to sit at the 'adult table' during mealtimes
3) Argueing with smaller cousins as who gets to choose which channel tv to watch during "family time"
4) Argueing with smaller cousins as to whose duit raya was it that was left on the tv in the living room.
5) Argueing with smaller cousi--(ehh banyaknya gaduh dengan cousin, woops kantoi! XD)
) sneaking off whenever guests come to visit as we gals malas nak bancuh teh-o (seriously people, tau la baru habis puasa sebulan. But dang, you all drink like camels @@)
6) And numerous other things! Senang cerita, whatever it is that you can think of COULD happen whenever a big number of people congregate in one place, WILL happen. The best thing we can do is sit back and hope everyone survives the ordeal.

I'm painting the experience as if its a harrowing event, however it is not so. Yea, its annoying when your 5 year-old cousin with kyooter hair gets to cut in line to the bathroom just because she needs to do her lady business but oh well, its a once a year event. The rest of the year seniority rules supreme missy! So move aside! *shoves* Mwahahahahaha >)

Uhhum *calms self*

Meanwhile, raya-ing in town is a different thing altogether. No more argueing whose turn is it to go to the bathroom as everyone can do their business in the comforts of their own home (Yeayy to indoor pumbing!) and no more being sent out to some makcik's house to borrow/buy some random kitchen ingredient as the on-slaught of guests have finished up all the stock. And to top it all off, at the end of the day, no more having to force yourself to sleep while being lullaby-ed by daddy dearest's and Pak Chu's synchronized snoring. I swear, at the rate and volume they were going at it, you would think that they were trying to out-snore the other o_O"

When you compare both situations together, you would get the impression that raya-ing at home/kay-ell is way better but i beg to differ. Neither one is better than the other. Both has it good and bad points. In a way I do think I prefer going back to Kuala Kangsar @ Rembau but as the circumstances doesn't really permit, nothing else to do but to make the best out of it no? =3

Overall, Raya '09 will be remembered as the year where the we didn't go to raya, but raya came to US >D

(oh-so-lame-jingle but I MADE IT SO TERIMA SEADANYA >E)

In the meantime, here's some images as to how raya '09 was all about.

Kek Lapis Sarawak dekat rumah parents Amir (Sis's hubby)
Lawa kan! Rasa macam nak cungkil-cungkil hancurkan je! (er yes, I have a 'thing' in regards to patterns and coraks. I have an urge to destroy it ^^;)

Rumah Kampung di Rembau. I still remember the days when we used to play hide-n-seek with our cousins around the house..*sniffs* T--T

Doing god-knows-what dekat tangga depan rumah. Ezan sibuk interframe at the back. Vain!

Last but not least, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri from all of us. May all of you enjoy the festivities!
Maaf Zahir dan Batin =)
______________________________________

Oh dear, did i say that was the end of this post?

Sorry, I LIED >) *cackles*

Kepada semua rakan-rakan saya samada di Selangor mahupun di Perlis (senang cerita anybody who knows me). I berhajat nak berkunjung ke rumah korang dan beraya. I really feel the whole visiting each other's house during raya tradition is going to die out if we young'uns don't take an active role to ensure its preservation (chewah alasan, padahal nak makan free)

MAKA, bukalah pintu rumah anda dan bersedialah untuk ketibaan saya!

Till then, cheerio~!

P.S. : Kenapa tahun ni kurang dapat duit raya? T--T sedeyh tau.

P.S : Shairil loves you, sumpah tak tipu. (tibe)

BAI!

Talking is fun. Does thinking that make me a typical girl?

2009-09-02T08:18:00.000-07:00

"The thing i hate about arguments is that it interrupts a discussion"

G.K. Chesterton

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where people asked you what is it that you like to do in your spare time and when you answer it, they just give you the blank stare as if they're saying, "You gotta be kidding me..".

I have.

And that's because my answer to that sort of question is, "I like to talk whenever i have the time". More often than not, I would get the routine blank stare and then slight shake of the head which usually signifies that the other person thinks I'm a complete airhead for not having a more sophisticated or l33t hobby. Well~ To those annoying people, scr--(ala bulan puasa takleh curse la pulak) may you get a life, i don't judge your lame social life so butt out of mine! >(

(Hrm. I am getting a tad emotional here)

ANYWAY~ Back to the point which I am trying to convey; Talking is F-U-N. However, it must be noted that the type of talking which i am referring to here is not just the typical girl gossip you usually see girls (who else! XD) do in the school corridor between classes. I mean those kinds of discussions where each party throws in their opinions or suggestions regarding some particular topic without any worry of being condemned for their thoughts. I guess what I'm referring to is an "open table" kind of discussion. I must say, I enjoy these kind of social interaction as it broadens my knowledge and also in a way trains me to open up my mind to other people. This is the main reason why I'm enjoying my elective subject this semester; Law and Philopsophy.

Most of my friends have commented that they find the class a tad (ok, i lied. They find it extremely boring) but truth be told, I enjoy the 2 hour classes which we spent mostly listening to our lecturer babble about the various philosophers and their school of thought. Yes, its undeniable that Mr.Haris's voice can be very soothing and sleep-inducing (sorry sir >_<") especially after the lunch period but i gotta say, the effort taken to fight off the sleep and listen to him is completely worth it. Not only is he well-versed and dedicated in his job, but he is also interesting as he is firm in his principles without offending another person's stance and beliefs. He once told us his experience of how he quit smoking;

Mr. Haris : I really wanted to quit smoking so this is what I did; I smoked my last cigarette and then nawaitu (niat) ,"Ya Allah, if I smoke another cigarette after this, I shall then become a murtad".

Can you spell D-R-A-S-T-I-C? Extreme action indeed, but he says it had worked. I'm not going to preach religion here but I really admire his iron-clad will. Now if only i can have that kind of willpower in terms of turning down food..hmm...

Another important factor about our lecturer that I would like to state here is that he encourages his students to speak their mind. As a result, during classes sometimes its become like a mini-parliament where opinions and suggestions are being thrown around. Sometimes it even seems like pandemonium is going to break loose but thank goodness Mr. Haris is there to steer us back into course =p Needless to say, trekking up the god-awful Cempaka hill each week for Philo class is not that depressing anymore ^_^

Moving on to less educational subjects~

Meet up with my lovable huggable (iye la tu, semua dah kurus. Peluk tulang je semua. Dengkiiiii >E) girlfriends of 9 years; Timei, Azi Papan and Sheila boyan~ I enjoy this bi-annual outings we do each time a certain minah comes homes from India XD

Kelakar weh bila pikir balik. You wouldnt expect it by looking at us, but the four of us are such nerds. Ada chance nak keluar tanduk pun tak larat yerrrrr balik bilik pukul 12 pasal ngantok. Like wth, orang lain in our situation dah hilang entah ke mane entah! XD Oh well, its this kind of childishness and "uniqueness" that makes us tight kot. Any way, i love you guyssss~~!! *glomps*

(left) Azi Papan yang kewl senantiasa
(right) Sheila boyan, mulut ter-"laju" di rantau Asia

Azi and Timei senyum candid ayu. Di tengah yang sedang buat aksi mak datin over tu boleh diabaikan.

Ni aksi je over, padahal tak makan pun. Corus Hotel is the first hotel I've been to that doesn't have nutcracker in their kitchen inventory. Kecewa dowh, ketam tu terpaksa ditinggalkan tak makan T--T

The things that happen in just a few blinks and unmonitered idle hours.

Pejam celik pejam celik, satu minggu dah berlalu.

Pejam celik pejam celik, one more round of buat muka toya dekat abang kat kedai Mister Kaya because my housemates (Fia and Ayuni) and I lepak berjam-jam guna wifi.

Pejam celik pejam celik, another tutorial di mana Puan Mina sidelined my group in regards of presenting our topic. Ma'ammm kami dah tak sanggup nak sakit jantung tiap-tiap minggu menunggu turn nak present. Please choose us next time around T--T

Pejam celik pejam celik, another week where I miss out on Alwi's random escapade's of "pancut-ting" at my mom during bathing time or any other time (even). Nakal yer Alwi. I fear the day if I ever get roped into changing his diaper @@" But putting the fear of baby boys and their inability to aim aside, I'm missing the lil tyke immensely. If not for the fact that my assignments and committments are piling up plus the risk of me carrying H1N1 virus balik rumah, I would be there 24/7 just watching the lil kiddo sleep the day away. Ahh..the life of leisure. (Jeles siot).

Maka, bila ada chance nak buli budak kechik tu, apa lagiiiiiiii~~ >D

Ini merupakan cubaan ketiga nak meng-'burp'kan Alwi. I swear dia nyer belahak boleh kalahkan orang tua. Kuat wo o_o"

Ini adalah muka seorang kanak-kanak yang sangat dimanjakan dan disayangi keluarga. Sampai tahap dia akan nanges if no one holds him. Sekali ada orang pegang dia, terus diam yerrr (drama king gitew). Semoga my sister produces another sibling for him, or not habesslaaaaaaa @@"

Putting ogling of small kids aside, this week has been relatively uneventful. Our law & philosophy test was interesting. never knew I could write 5 pages of answer script in an hour. Hopefully I did well in that or not I swear I'm gonna burn my philo notes (nama pun open book test, kalau tak dapat markah itu salah rujukan!)
______________________________________________

Hmm..

I am currently at a crossroad in my life. There's so many things to consider before I could decide. All the options laid down in front of me have their respective pros and cons. Issues such as do I put myself first or do I take into account the welfare of others as well creeps into my mind at every moment. I am at a loss as to what I should do. Hopefully i get an inkling as to what I should choose soon as one moment lost, is a moment gone forever.

God, give me a sign.

2009-08-04T07:50:00.000-07:00

I shall forever look back into the week where UiTM was closed for a week as the week filled with memorable events:

1) Alwi baby chomeyl shweety bum-bum~ July baby! XD

2) The H1N1 'scare' the moot team had when Izmil was sent to the Klang Hospital cause. (Thank god it wasnt so @@)

3) The day when THIS happened >D So sorry Khairil , it was too memorable not to be uploaded! XD
And another
Hehe thank goodness those abangs was passing by, or not tak dapekla kereta you keluar yerk dari longkang tu. All three of us harusla tak larat nak mengangkat, nama pun baru keluar Pusat Kesihatan. Stewpiak H1N1, disturbing all our plans je =.="

Ark, again, abang mister kaya dah jeling dah. Ciaooo

P.S: Nak balik nak tengok Alwi ='(

This is why money can't buy you everything

2009-07-29T23:12:00.001-07:00

Eventhough my fellow teamates might call me a slacker for playing truant, I DON'T CARE.

Even if I don't win, I DON'T CARE.

Even if my friends give me the cold shoulder for cancelling plans last minute, I DON'T CARE.

Even if I get bored out of my mind running errands all around Selangor, I DON'T CARE.

Its because when things like THIS happen, I know it's all worth it. Family is WAY more important.

Say hello to my nephew, Shahril Alwi Husaini.

My sister has safely given birth to a 3.5kg boy earlier today. Syukur Alhamdullillah.

(gila besar hokay budak ni, kesian kakak i mengangkut dia ke hulu ke hilir for 9+ months)

Okay, gonna go ogle the kid summore. Chomel chomel~ *gomol*

Ciao! Haihh...Dunia sangatla lawa hari ni (tibe, nak jugak)

Busy as hell. But loving it.

2009-07-21T06:09:00.000-07:00

Three weeks into semester and I've gotta say, this semester has turned out to be quite....taxing. Fascinating, but taxing nonetheless. So far, my days has been filled with groping in the dark in regards to my syllabus and not having enough hours in a day to accommodate the various activities i had thoughtlessly signed up to. Behhh tu la Fara, kan orang kata jangan melebeyh, kan dah regret =_="

Takpe takpe, kesungguhan tangga kejayaan! I will prevail! Chaiyok! >D

Moving on, this semester my partner-in-crime a.k.a. Fia a.k.a. Mama Juwie made sure to choose our compulsory co-curricular programme wisely this time around as we've learnt out lesson from the previous semester. Going through 4 months of public speaking in Malay (pengucapan awam dalam bahasa melayu) was torture. Call me melayu celup or whatever, but coversing formally in Malay is difficult for me. Thank goodness Fia was there to help point me in the right direction or not haruslah kena gelak satu kelas for my apparently VERY skema-ted malay ><" Tapi kekadang Fia tu pun kejam gak, I still remember the incident where you laughed at me for shaking like a leaf before our group presentation. Kuwang hajar yerrr tunggu kauuu!! >E

Anyways, in relation to that, this semester we both decided to go for something that doesnt require us to use much brain neurons (or synapses whatever lah); GAMELAN. Whatta suprise, we both LOVE IT. Seriously, best weh. Dahla tak payah belajar music note, sekadar hafal nombor sudah =p~

This is moi muka bangga cause managed to hit the instrument. Best weh ketuk-ketuk periuk, its become my most favourite way to relieve stress =p

On a side note, dah lama rasa tak beli baju, I am so slacking off. Heh.
Currently ogling from Destres. Simply but oh-so-lavly~ Plus the fact that I can wear it to class is a big plus! (dang my institute with its tyrannical rules on clothing =.=)

Aight, I think I've been using Mr.Kaya's free wifi for long enough. I do think the waiter's eyeballing me already eheh.

Banyak kerja, tapi tak nak buat kerja. Slap me now.

2009-06-29T23:13:00.000-07:00

A tribute to my family. YES, I am actually doing work those days i disappear from the crack of dawn (dawn la sgt, pukul 10 nyehe) to god knows what time (P.S: Ezan tolong bukak pintu XD) at night. Takpela, I bring u guys food from Williams', kira adil yek? =p

Fellow teamates hard at "work". Elelele we know better~ ^_-

This post is uber crap btw. I just feel wasting the lunch period plus anymore reading of convention/cases at the moment is going to make me hurl =_='

Rest for 15 minutes and then restart. Expecting the rest of the team back soon anyways.

Of sakit perut puasa and throwing tantrums.

2009-06-25T02:17:00.000-07:00

FINALLYYYYYYYY I'M DONEEEEEEEE!!! ...of writing the first draft of the memorial je la. Still a loooong way from actually finishing it though, but who cares~! Saya masih puas hati XD

*uhhum* My poor blogspot baby, baru je brought into existence dah kena ditch seminggu. Believe me darling, if i had a choice, I would coreng2 on this blog every single day tapi malangnya i am neither rajin nor is my life THAT interesting to be documented every single moment. Hence the reason why I do not apply for Twitter. I do not see the point of telling the world what I am doing every single second. Example:

5.21 PM - Thinking of picking my nose.
5.22 PM - Picking my nose.
5.24 PM - Finish picking my nose.
And the absurdity goes on...

Like wth...perlu ke...i admit I'm vain tapi thank goodness tak sampai tahap tu lagi @@"

Moving on! Today is my second day fasting and truth be told, I feel like budak 5 tahun baru nak puasa first time. Merana gila saket perut, i don't know why. Nak kata dah lama tak puasa cannot be as I am fond of fasting whenever the allowance start becoming rather limited so kena budget (hehe..menyelam sambil minum air uolzz!). Nak kata panas tak jugak, KL has been raining the past week (niceee tak payah siram bunga, i loikeeee),nak kata kerja buruh (err heyy I HAVE been working my brain off for mooting, that should count!) tak jugak. Oh well, asalkan bila buka dapat makanan sedap-sedap, i am contend~

As I am basking in the sadly short period of time i can slack off before i need to continue with mooting (yes, i have become a slave to mooting), been catching up with the latest trend going on in the online shopping world~!

Am loving this to bits! They're being sold at http://www.tenladytoes.blogspot.com/, check it out aight. Tapi malangnya I walk like an overweight drunk cowboy so these thin sole shoes don't really last long for me. Not really economical when you think about it.... Oh, and another one!

Me is liking this one as it reminds me vaguely of Squall Leonhart's lion ensignia (the emo hero from FFVIII). Call me fangirly but I like it nonetheless. I want these tapi when i think about all those books i'm gonna need to buy for next semester...bahhh why lar buku law semua mahal-mahal. Bajet semua student amek PTPTN or JPA =_="

Ngeh. I'm hungry + tired + cranky. Not a good combination. 2 more hours to go. Distract me, anyone? T----T

Boring day + Hot day

2009-06-19T00:28:00.000-07:00

Whoop-dee-doo. Hellooooo blogspot =) I can't wait for us to get better acquainted >)

Anyways, today has been relatively uneventful unless you count in the fact that the house was virtually stampeded by numerous repairmen coming in to err...what else, repair stuff. I notice my dad loves to arrange for people to come in whenever any of my siblings are on holiday or conveniently stuck at home. Yes, it would make sense to do so however as bratty as this may sound, i despise babysitting the house for repairs. ESPECIALLY when i have no idea what exactly they're supposed to repair in the first place!

Air-cond repairman: We've come to repair/service your air-cond ma'am.

Moi : (did he just call me ma'am? dem joo) Ar? Uhh..(tries to cover the fact that i didnt know they were supposed to come today)..okay, follow me..

10 minutes later..

Electrician: Hello ma'am, we've come to repair your fusebox. Can you turn on all (and i mean ALL yer, does he realize how many we actually have in 'ere?! @@) electrical appliances inside the house? We want to check your maximum electric load. (hamende ntah, gua angguk je, nasib baik abang baik kalau tak dah lama campak kasut)

Rinse and repeat cycle a couple of times and you basically get a rough idea of how my day has been.

Needless to say, I am not amused.
(Q.Victoria should really get that line patented, its so regal its hawt)

Tupperware Filled With Koko

Of finally being able to cry for you.

Of knowing that 'ohana' still ranks no.1 in here *thumps chest*

Of finally realizing my love for all things mooting =)

Of having a rockstar for a nephew.

Of not having enough time to not do anything =X

Of kicking of the shoes and living the life of leisure.

Of crappers and shit falling from the sky, both at the same time.

Of moving out, and moving in again.

of late night "parties" in Cempaka. How fun.

Of fangs and high school rejects turned cool!

Music gets my feet thumping. Music soothes my soul.

Of Lusts for Gadgets.

Alwi is addicted to tv. Yikes.

Wow, you're cute. Can I stalk you?

Never thought one can get sick of seafood o_O" Hanoi~!

Let's toss the coin, shall we?

Choices indeed.

I have succumbed.
